[NSRCA-discussion] Food for thought

[Dr. Mike Harrison]

Claude,
I don't mean any disrespect to anyone, but the jump would require some effort and work on the person making the 'jump'.  The safeguard is to fly higher and/or be prepared to bail out when in trouble.  My personal experience has taught me not to be embarrassed by my flying, regardless.  Everyone has flown badly so no one will throw that stone so to speak.  If you have level I and II, then you see the advantages of that.  Administration( contest management, rulemaking, costs, judging) is greatly simplified.  Competition is enhanced.  

Mike

  That sounds good to me too. I only mention another class because of the jump in difficulty between Advanced and Masters.

  Consider having 2 levels of Masters and they can judge each other.  Creates tremendous flexibility not only in contest management but also in class structuring.  For example the bottom 5 of the top level move down to the lower level and the top 5 of the lower level move up.  Call it level 1 and level 2 or category1 and 2 or whatever.

    I have been thinking, it might be time to bring back the Expert class.  The reason I say this is because the Masters class is becoming rather large and is going to grow in the coming years. The problems I see are the difficulty judging at local contests.  At the St Louis contest it took an hour and a half to judge Masters.  Because Masters is the largest class compared the Advanced and Intermediate and only three FAI, it can be difficult to organize Judges for Masters.  I'm not singling out the St Louis contest, the Omaha contest was the same as most contests I have been to.  If Masters was split in two classes it would increase the available people to judge.

     

    Masters could be a little easier and Expert could be harder.  Expert could even be the last FAI P schedule.  The reason some don't wish to move to FAI is the time to learn two schedules.  It looks like the Masters class is going to get larger and I think it would be good to break it split it up.
